COMPLETE LOSS OF TAIL ROTOR THRUST- Procedures: Powered Flight
1. If a safe landing area is not immediately available, continue powered flight to suitable run-on landing area. Maintain airspeed at or above minimum rate of descent autorotational airspeed.
2. When landing area is reached, make a power on run-on landing above the minimum rate of descent airspeed during the approach.
3. Accomplish touchdown with airspeed as required for directional control. Manipulate throttle and collective as necessary to maintain landing alignment until the aircraft comes to a stop.

2.If run-on landing is possible at touchdown, complete autorotation with touchdown airspeed as required for directional control.
3. If run-on landing is not possible, start to decelerate from 100 feet altitude so that forward
ground speed is at a minimum when the helicopter reaches 10 to 20 feet; execute the termination with a rapid collective pull just prior to touchdown in a level attitude with minimum ground speed.
Fixed Tail Rotor Pitch Settings - Fixed Right pedal: Indications
Occurs at a low power setting, nose of the helicopter turns to the right as power is applied. The right pedal may be forward of the left.
Fixed Tail Rotor Pitch Settings - Fixed Right pedal: Procedures
1. If a safe landing area is not immediately available, continue powered flight to a suitable landing area above the minimum speed required for directional control.
2. When the landing area is reached, perform a run-on landing. During the approach, maintain the minimum speed required for directional control. Arrive over the touchdown area at this speed, and an altitude of two to three feet.
3. Allow the aircraft to touchdown while maintaining heading control with throttle and collective applications as necessary. Reductions in throttle and/or collective will cause the nose to yaw to the left. Increases in collective will cause the nose to yaw right.
Fixed Tail Rotor Pitch Settings - Fixed Left pedal: Indications
Occurs at a higher power setting, nose of the helicopter turns to the left as power is reduced. The left pedal may be forward of the right.
Fixed Tail Rotor Pitch Settings - Fixed Left pedal: Procedures

2. If needed, due to excessively high tail rotor thrust, reduce engine RPM (INCR/DECR) to 98% NP.
3. When the landing area is reached, perform a run-on landing. During the approach, maintain the minimum speed required for directional control. Arrive over the touchdown area at this speed, and an altitude of two to three feet.
4. Decelerate and allow the aircraft to touchdown while maintaining heading control with collective and throttle applications as necessary. Increases in collective will cause the nose to yaw right. Reductions in throttle and/or collective will cause the nose to yaw to the left.
Fixed Tail Rotor Pitch Settings - Hover: Procedures
1. Fixed left pedal, gradually decrease the collective pitch and land helicopter.
2. Fixed right pedal or total loss of tail rotor thrust, close the throttle and accomplish an autorotational landing.
